The wonderful stages of pregnancy begin even before you know you are pregnant. There are three stages of pregnancy called trimesters, which last about thirteen weeks each. Each trimester has its own uniqueness, because you experience different symptoms and your baby also goes through different growing cycles in each one.
What To Expect
Here is a guide on what to expect during the different stages of pregnancy. The first trimester is joyous, but can also be mixed with different emotions because of some of the dreaded early symptoms of pregnancy, like morning sickness. The first trimester is an important time, since this is the period where your baby will begin developing vital organs. It is during this time that you should see a doctor right away to ensure you are doing everything you can to help the baby develop healthy. If the baby were to develop complications, it would likely happen during this trimester, but complications can also happen in other trimesters. You may have to change your sleeping, eating, and caffeine or alcohol habits since you body is changing and a baby is developing in your uterus.

When women suspect that they are pregnant, they usually get a home pregnancy test kit to determine if their suspicion is true or false. The process of home testing is usually to try and catch some of your urine, preferably the urine from when you just woke up, on the small plastic indicator. The indicator will then color up to show if you are pregnant or not.
A false positive pregnancy test means that your initial pregnancy test shows that you are pregnant. Doctor or obstetricians often do another pregnancy test when you consult them, just to be sure that the home pregnancy test was not a false positive pregnancy test. To avoid a false positive pregnancy test result, doctors advised women to conduct the test after they have missed their period. False positive pregnancy test results are rare but can happen.

The term “the rabbit’s dead” as a pregnancy announcement is in reference to the fact that early pregnancy tests used to include rabbits: if the rabbit died after the procedure, the woman was pregnant. The only options were to wait it out or go to the doctor. Now, however, home pregnancy tests are popular, cheap, and very useful.
